Great Sunflower Project As you've probably heard, bees and other pollinators are in trouble and that's an issue for all of us because pollinators make a lot of our food possible. The Great Sunflower Project is a national initiative that uses "citizen scientists" to watch bees to see that they're doing and how they're doing.
